  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-009199",
  "term": "Polymer-rich phase",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A phase in a multi-component polymer system that contains a significantly higher concentration of polymer compared to other coexisting phases. This phase often exhibits a higher viscosity or a more structured morphology due to the increased polymer content. It forms during processes like phase separation or gelation.",
